Puttery mini golf

A new mini golf brand has been created and will launch in the USA this summer.

Puttery venues will offer high-tech indoor mini golf along with dining and drinking options.

Puttery is being developed by Drive Shack and the minigolf brand will be delivered in partnership with Rory McIlroy.

The first Puttery location will open in Dallas, Texas this summer. A further site is planned for Charlotte, North Carolina with another five Puttery venues opening in 2021. A further ten locations are planned to open in 2022.

Hardcore Mini Golf

A look at the new Hardcore Mini Golf show.

Taking a nod from the Holey Moley TV series and reminding me of the classic Extreme Dodgeball show Hardcore Mini Golf is a new online minigolf tournament series taking place in the USA.

Hardcore Mini Golf has certainly put its own twist on competitive minigolf and the show features a cast of colourful characters.

The Hardcore Mini Golf tournament sees 16-players battle it out over four rounds on the Peter Pan Mini-Golf course in Austin, Texas.

Check out the trailer and episode one in the videos below.
